If only there was a place on the web where you could catch up on all the best blog posts from all of the business, money and career-related blog carnivals. Wait a minute! Isn't that what On the Moneyed Midways, a summary of the best posts from each of the week's blog carnivals dedicated to money and business-related matters, with one post declared to be The Best Post of the Week, Anywhere!(TM) is all about?
Well, you know the answer to that question, otherwise you would have hit the back button on your browser already! Just click here for the wrap-up of the week that was....
About the Picture
Yes, it's not your imagination - it's Steve Martin in a scene hawking carnival goods in The Jerk (it's also not your imagination that it's been flipped!) Why have we chosen this particular image to flack our weekly review of money-related blog carnivals? Our thanks to Rexblog for showing the appropriate context of the scene:
In this scene, Martin's character, Navin R. Johnson, is taught the
secret key to all entrepreneurial success: sell something for more than
you pay for it. "Ahhhh!" says Johnson, when he discovers this secret
from his mentor, "It's a profit deal!"
It's really a shame that
so many people don't get that this incentive is the engine that drives billions of people to form the relationships and institutions that provide the greatest happiness for themselves, their families and their communities.
